    Well, that’s hard to do when your government are the only ones with guns and power.

      Innocent lives lost due to “law abiding citizens” mishandling guns: a metric shit ton

      Corrupt governments toppled by gun lovers: 0

      The thought of how many people might be stocking ammo and thinking to use out if their favorite politician loses makes me happy for having an ocean between me and them.

          Ahh, the typical Reddit old tradition of vague statement of knowledge with no meat to not be rebutted. Had hoped that didn’t reach Lemmy.

          Lightning round. Russia? Ha! China? Ha! North Korea? Japan? Ha! Netherlands? Hahahaha

          USA…? Hahahahahahhahahhaha

            The US might prove true if you include gun nuts toppling their own government by voting for fascist scum.

        What about the innocent lives lost because they didn’t have a gun? You think everyone can fight with their bare hands or a knife?

          Who do you even need to fight bro? If I was say getting mugged I would give them all my valuables save a 10 % tip that I could give them when I was allowed to run the hell away from there. Do not be a stupid macho idiot. Be a smart coward without neither a wallet, gun nor a fatal wound.

          Jokes aside, the main uptick is the smaller chance of someone less mentally stable than you with less to lose also having a gun.
